Hot weather

With everyone complaining about the hot weather. I though I'd chime in.

I, for one, enjoy it. I thought I'd hate it too, but after working in it for 3 summers, it really isn't that awful. When I worked for the Oops, I used to run through sprinklers on the way back to the big brown truck, and if it rained I'd just stand out there for a while and cool off.

Now that I'm pounding in floors, there are no sprinklers to run through but if I drink a lot of water, I'm fine. I do sweat like a prostitute in church, but that's just part of the job. I'd much rather have the heat over the cold winters. That's the suck right there. Trying to stay warm, running in and out of the house hauling in wood and tools, at 5 degrees. Having a 5000 sq/ft house being heated by one lonely bullet heater. Seeing your breath all day long, but not wanting to wear a jacket or stocking cap, cause you'll end up sweating and then the sweat will freeze and so will you. Now that's a bunch of crap.

So, in conclusion. I say bring on the heat. That's what they make AC for. I guess I haven't noticed the heat at work. The only time I really notice that it's hot out is if I'm not doing anything and even then it's nice.


This has been the fat kid saying, quit whining about the hot weather and enjoy it. We only get it for 3 months.

I don't know if I should say "amen brotha" or "are you crazy"
Sure, bring on the heat but without the humidity.

Now today was just perfect. 70's, sunny and a cool breeze. Humidity sucks.

Hmmmm, I sit here at 9PM in the crappy sandbox, and the current temp is a COMFORTABLE 104 degrees. At this point, I'd need a jacket at 70! I love the lack of humidity, but it's still damn hot!

P.S. 119 degrees here today.
